Dock jumping is a water sport that’s taking dog competitions to new levels these days. The sport was first introduced in the 1990’s and has picked up momentum in the UK, US and other places around the world. There is a general rule guideline that must be followed which was set by the United Kennel Cub.

Dock jumping is both rewarding and beneficial for pets and their owners. However, at Canine College, we believe that the dog gets the better end of the deal. Here are a few benefits that come with signing your dog up for dock diving lessons.

  • It’s a safe sport. Unlike other dog competitions, dock diving is easy on the joints. Running and agility sports after awhile can be burdensome on the knees, but dock jumping allows for your dog to stay competitive well into old age.
  • It doesn’t have to be competitive. Many dog owners will use dock diving as another means to have fun and bond with their dog — it can be as competitive as you want it to be! Some owners will train with their dogs, and Canine College can certainly help with this.
  • A great excuse to cool off. What’s better than jumping into a large pool of water on a hot day? Dock diving for water loving breeds can cure the craving to cool off in the water.
  • Teaching and old dog new tricks. Has your dog gone through just about every type of training there is? Many dogs will pick up new tricks quickly, so why not expand the number of commands your dog knows by adding dock jumping into the mix. Canine College can help you formulate commands that are most effective for your dog.
